DAILY HERALD.
PASSED THROUGH.
Senator Hearst ON His
Way to FL Paso.
BUT HE WILL RETURN.
Senator J. P. Jones of Nevada,
Talks of Los Angeles and
its Future Possibilities.

Yesterday morning about 10 O'Clock
Mayor Workman received dispatch
from VIM. d. English, at San Fran
cisco, stating that Senator George
Hearst would pass through Los An
geles ON his way to Ell Paso some
time during the morning. About the
same time Sidney Lacey also received
a similar telegram from Mr.. English,
and both of these were dated Sunday
and were sent on that afternoon.
They should have been delivered not
later than an hour after sent, but for
some reason they did not reach Mayor
Workman and MIR. Lacey until long
after Senator Hearst had stopped at
the depot here and had taken the
train for Ell Paso. Mayor Workman
and the other members OF the COM
mittee appointed to receive Senator
Hearst did not know this, however,
and supposed that he would arrive ON
the 12:l5 train. They therefore en-
gagged the best suite Of rooms at the
Nadeau, and made other arrange
ments to receive the extected guest.
After this had been completed they
proceeded to the depot in carriages.
only to find that Senator Hearst
had gone on several hours before.
Senator j. P. Jones oil Nevada, how
ever. was at the depot, and as he had
accompanied Senator Hearst he had
been delegated by him to say
that he regretted his inabilit,
to stay in this city as re.
uuested. He had been called to
III Paso on very urgent business,
which could not he delayed, but it
was his intention to come back and
see for himself what Los Angeles
needed. He took the greatest inter-
est in Los Angeles, and it would
please him to think that he might be
able to give his influence in behalf OF
the interests of the city and county.
Senator Jones was seen by a repre-
sentative of the HERALD just as he
entered the O'Clock train for Santa
Monica. He said that he had come
to this part of the State to stay only "a
few days, but he thought there
was no mparison between Los An
geles and other points. Los Angeles
he said was destined to he a very
large place for seve al reasons. The
people in the North will come here in
the winter time to escape the cold
weather, and the people in the East
will come at all seasons-in the sum-
mer to escape the heat and in the
winter to escape the cold. With a
Constant influx of people there is no
reason in the world why Los Angeles
cannot, ii she will, be as large city as
there is in the West.
When asked as to whether he knew
anything positive about the moves OF
the various railroad companies, Sena-
tor Jones replied that he knew nothing
authoritatively. He had heard many
Fumors concerning proposed lines, but
he did not know just what would be
done. He believed, however, that
Los Angeles was the point toward
which all were heading.
The Carson and Colorado evidently
intended to come through here since
it was about as short ute as could
be taken proftably. Then tie east
ern companies have their eyes upon
Los Angeles as terminal and I'M
doubleday have serious intentions Of
coming here.
i The Chicago and Northwestern
will probably be the first to bu Id
to Los Angeles bv the shortest route,
and in the very near future.
Then the great Burlington Company
lis thinking very seriously OF coming
to Los Ang les, and Of extending its
lines, not for what there is in it, OF
profit, at present, but for what can be
brought out in the future.
The Companies that now run into
Los Angeles are so crowded with bust
ness that they cannot attend 10 it and
,then will be plenty for all to do.
: There is one serious question which
should have immediate attention, or
else, the lack of it may prove draw
back in the next few years. That
question is sewerage. A city may get
along very well until it has about
thirty thousand inhabitants, bat

Angeles cannot afford to wait any
longer without attending to this mat
ter.
"What is Nevada doing, Senator ?'
asked the reporter.
"Nevada is waiting for every piece
of land to be settled upon in Los An
geles county, and then she may come
in for a share OF the Eastern settlers"
replied Senator Jones; Nevada to be
properly developed for the settler re-
Quires an immense amount of time,
labor and money spent in sto ing up
the winter water for summer use.
At present it is a great grazing
country, but in order to make it suit
ahle for settlement, some way must
be found to store the water for sum-
mer use; until this is done there will
not he any great advance" BY this
time Commercial street depot had
been reached. and the reporter was
forced to leave the train.
